About this product

Product Information

Brian De Palma (SCARFACE) directed this lavish adaptation of Tom Wolfe's best-selling satirical novel, featuring Tom Hanks, Melanie Griffith, and Bruce Willis. Hanks stars as Sherman McCoy, a distinctly 1980s brand of wealthy Wall Street wizard who takes a mighty fall from his glitzy lifestyle after he and his mistress (Griffith) put a Bronx youth into a coma via a hit-and-run accident. Alcoholic reporter Peter Fallow (Willis) sees the crime as an opportunity for big headlines, and soon Sherman is the target of every political and media group in the city, including an Al Sharpton-style black leader named Rev. Bacon (John Hancock) and a sleazy D.A. (F. Murray Abraham). SEX IN THE CITY babe Kim Catrall costars as Sherman's long-suffering wife, and Morgan Freeman is the judge who tries to reign in this three-ring media circus of a case. Like the decade it parodies, this film is proudly over the top in its lavishness. It's also filled to overflowing with inspired casting, wildly inventive comedy, and the sort of artistically ambitious tracking shots for which its director is renowned.

  • Bonfire of the Vanities - worth a second look after 28 years

    With the recent passing of Tom Wolfe it was interesting to go back and see the movie adaption of one of his finest books.

  • SO VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS MOVIE....

    Wow. This is just painfully bad. Despite having amazing stars like Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis, this is still a truly unfunny movie that wasn't worth my money or time seeing. (Double Groan.)
